Topshop Lips

I bought these lipsticks so long ago I honestly can't believe how long it has taken me to actually write about them. These last two months seem to have absolutely flown by, and even now I'm sat at home desperately trying to find something to write a blog post about when I stumble across these photos that I took, probably back in March! Whoops. I mean, I actually bought these way back in December as I had a discount card from over Christmas, and Hazard was in the sale so I got all 3 of these for about £15, which was a bit of a bargain don't you think?

All three colours are lovely and bright, and of the three I think Infrared is definitely the weakest, as it often needs quite a few applications for the bright coral colour to really take effect on the lips and I've found that it doesn't really last that long, which is a shame as the initial colour is so bright and summery! Hazard is absolutely fantastic, I would definitely recommend this as a go to everyday red as that is exactly what it is to me. It's a joy to wear, I honestly don't have any problems with it. Lastly, and definitely not least, Velveteen Ribbon is a beautiful matte that's easy to apply with the doe foot applicator, and although it almost gets clumpy (?? maybe not the correct word but it's kinda what happens!) and therefore leads to discolourations, overall it's such a well wearing dark red. Ohhh I love it so much, it's so great to add a bit of drama during the day and then not having to worry about it at all! I have so much love for it.

Swatches T-B: Velveteen Ribbon, Infrared, Hazard.

Unfortunately I think Velveteen Ribbon may no longer be stocked, but I did catch it for sale in some bargain bins the last time I looked! The lipsticks are both still in stock though, so go grab yourself a brilliant lipstick and surprise yourself with Topshop Beauty's range!

Denim for Days

Found this lovely little square in Fitzrovia not too far from my halls and it was so quiet so I made Luke take loads of photos so I could show off some of my favourite items of clothing. Only looking back now do I realise wearing the scarf and the jumper looks a little odd, but whatevs man that jumper was £5 and I've seen ones identical in Topshop. It's always worth scouring markets as there normally is something great like this buried amongst all the "I <3 Kush" hats.

Pink at Trafalgar

I love love love looooove this coat.  It's soft and very warm, the whole thing is fleece lined and comes up rather large so you can still wear warm clothes underneath. It's really quite flattering for such a thick item, and although the belt isn't great that is the only downfall. I especially loved the colour, as it's so different and bright compared to most people's black or grey coats that have flooded London these past few weeks. I've never really been a pink wearing gal but I think this coat may have just won me over.

Would you wear a brighter coat/do you have one?

Hello!! Welcome to my first post of 2015 and I'm so excited because it's my first post focused mainly on fashion/personal style and that was what my main inspiration to start this blog in the first place as I've been into like fashion in general for several years (eg fashion mags and thinking ooh that's nice but never actually being able to afford stuff until I started working last year). Relatively, I've only been into make up and beauty within the last couple of months/half a year max really! Hence why my collection is so small and I'm still pretty diabolically bad at applying make up to myself!

Anyway this outfit was for a casual day out shopping with Luke to Truro, but it was basically a time for me to show off this gorgeous faux fur coat from Miss Selfridge that I bought in the Boxing Day sales. It reminds me of snow leopards and it's long and so so soft ahh it's gorgeous. I've been looking for a fur coat for so long and this really was the most beautiful thing ever.  This is a more casual look for it, as I wanted to make sure that I could wear it casually and yeah I think it works really well?? Well I think so anyway! Pls let me know what you think!!

Jumper: Topshop (available in 5 or so different colours and styles!)

Jeans: River Island Mom Jeans 

Shoes: Generic Vans

Wishlist #1

Floral Overlay Shirt - Topshop

Asos Sleeveless Body With Wrap Front

Motel Gabby Sequin Dress

River Island Grey Floral Print Shirt

Hello again! Too long since I've last posted, I was trying to keep to a weekly schedule but apparently I couldn't even keep that up for one week! Anyway, here's a small list of some of the select few items I've been lusting after lately. I'm not feeling all to autumn-y yet as the last few days have been so warm, I'm still out and about in skirts and shorts with no tights, hence why none of these are coats or other winter accessories... yet.

I'm trying to get a but more adventurous with my wardrobe, so when I've been out shopping lately I've been trying to push myself to get things that are a little bit out of my comfort zone. The Topshop dress and the River Island shirt are both a lot more vibrant than most things I would normally wear, while also both being quite trans-seasonal. You can't really see it from the picture, but the Topshop dress has cut outs that look super flattering.

The Asos body is included because it's unlike anything you normally see,  and I think it would be great layered up for the autumn. Lastly, and definitely not least, is the Motel sequin dress. Just look at it. It's seriously one of the nicest looking dresses I've ever seen. I love how the sequins make it flashy but the bodycon makes it also look quite classy too. As I'm going away to university quite soon, I thought this would make a lovely freshers week dress, as well as something that could be worn for any evening out.

What do you guys think?
